When trees are distinguished characters
The centennial gardens of Seville are a living testimony of ancient times. Spectacular trees rooted in history, plant species from America that fascinated half of Europe, or the ultimate expression of the romantic park model are at your disposal in Seville.

Maria Luisa Park
Sevilla has one of the most incredible parks ever designed: the Maria Luisa Park, an extension of the former gardens of the Palace of San Telmo.
The Maria Luisa Park is a true spectacle for the senses.
The Maria Luisa Park is a true spectacle for the senses. A romantic-style park that, just a few hundred meters from the oldest area of the city, offers you the chance to lose yourself among leafy paths, fantasy corners and literary gazebos. And is that next to the heart of Seville, is the lung of the city.
The cinema has also been no stranger to its beauty. From its jungle-like spaces that do not seem typical of an urban park you will pass to two monumental squares built by Aníbal González for the Exposition of ’29, and that open to the light of Seville like no other enclave of the city: the Plaza de América and the Plaza de España. Both have been immortalized in films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Star Wars.
Colossal trees
People who see them for the first time photograph their roots, their crowns, their unmanageable trunks. Everything about these trees is monumental. For the most part, they were species arrived from overseas, beautiful testimonies of the city’s historic past as Europe’s main port. The liana tree, the ficus or the Indian laurel have rarely reached such a majestic character as in the gardens and squares of Seville.
The Royal Alcazar Gardens
The Real Alcázar of Seville is the oldest royal palace in use in Europe. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is a set of palatial buildings of incalculable value. But regardless of its halls, courtyards and historic rooms, it would be impossible to understand a visit to the Real Alcázar without touring its gardens.

Their walls have preserved them from the passage of time. More than 20 thousand plants, a musical water organ, peacocks that roam freely, a plant labyrinth, historic palm trees, a legendary orange tree planted by King Pedro I or subway baths where he met his beloved… all this will make you travel to other times as if it were an immersive experience.

This legendary space has recently wondered the world in the series Game of Thrones, where they embody the Water Gardens of the Kingdom of Dorne.
